TECHNICAL FIELD

The preset invention relates to an excrement treatment method and device thereof. The device can be used as a chair-type toilet when the device is moved closer to a user and an insertion toilet when the device is set to a crotch of a bedridden user.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, various kinds of portable toilets which are capable of being used and installed as the chair-type toilet by being moved closer to the user are known.

Patent Document 1 discloses a portable toilet for the purpose of reducing washing water of a toilet bowl.

The portable toilet has a movable operation base, a toilet bowl installed on the operation base, a bucket arranged on a lower side of the toilet bowl, a toilet seat arranged on an upper side of the toilet bowl and a means for supplying bowl washing water to the toilet bowl, wherein the means for supplying bowl washing water is arranged on the rear side of the toilet bowl and has a spray nozzle for spraying water toward inside the toilet bowl, water stored in a tank is supplied to the spray nozzle via a pipe, a pump, a three-way switching valve and another pipe, and the water stored in a tank is heated to hot water via another pipe branched from the three-way switching valve and a heater and supplied to a hot water washing nozzle. After a user sits on the toilet seat and relieves nature, the buttocks are dried by the hot water washing nozzle. After that, water is sprayed from the spray nozzle to wash the toilet bowl. Since the toilet bowl is washed by spraying water from the spray nozzle, an amount of the water to be used is a little and the number of times of washing the bucket and filling water can be reduced.

Patent Document 2 discloses a sewage pot having an upper toilet bowl part and a lower sewage storage tank, wherein leakage of odor is prevented by surely sealing the sewage storage tank by a lid body located on a lower end part of the toilet bowl.

For achieving the above described purpose, the sewage pot includes an upper toilet bowl part, a lower sewage storage tank having a container shape and a lid body for sealing an opening of the lower part of the toilet bowl part. A female fitting surface having a taper shape is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the opening and a male fitting surface is formed on the lid body to be fitted with the female fitting surface. In addition, the taper angle of the male fitting surface of the lid body is larger than the taper angle of the female fitting surface of the opening.

In addition, Patent Document 3 discloses an excrement treatment device capable of being set to a crotch of a bedridden user and used as an insertion toilet.

In the excrement treatment device, the insertion toilet is laid on the crotch of the bedridden user, the insertion toilet is covered by a diaper, the excrement discharged onto the insertion toilet is sucked in a sewage tank of the excrement treatment device, and the sewage tank is separated from the excrement treatment device and transported to a toilet which is connected to a sewer-pipe to flush the sewage when the sewage tank becomes full.

PRIOR ART DOCUMENTS Patent Documents [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-45307 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-200005 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent No. 5254498 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention

In the apparatus shown in Patent Document 1, the buttocks and the toilet bowl are cleaned by the spray nozzle after excretion. However, the excrement is stored in the bucket installed on the lower part of the toilet bowl and covered only by the lid. Thus, there is a problem that odor dispersion to outside cannot be prevented.

In the apparatus shown in Patent Document 2, the opening between the toilet bowl part forming the sewage pot and the lower sewage storage is closed by the lid body of the male/female fitting surfaces having a taper shape. However, there is a problem that odor dispersion cannot be prevented during the excrement.

In the apparatus shown in Patent Document 3, the excrement discharged onto the insertion toilet is sucked in the sewage tank of the excrement treatment device. Thus, the leakage of the odor from the insertion toilet is little. However, when the sewage tank becomes full, the sewage tank is separated from the excrement treatment device and transported to the toilet which is connected to the sewer-pipe to flush the sewage.

Accordingly, in all the cited documents 1, 2 and 3, when the bucket or the sewage tank is full of the excrement, the user should transfer the bucket to the toilet which is connected to the sewer-pipe and wash the bucket after the excrement is flushed to the sewers. This is hard work.

The first purpose of the present invention is to provide an excrement treatment device capable of pressure-feeding the excrement by a compressed air supplied from the excrement treatment device to discharge the excrement directly to the sewers when the sewage tank becomes full.

The second purpose of the present invention is to provide an excrement treatment device capable of being used as the chair-type toilet and also used as the insertion toilet set to the crotch.

The other purposes of the present invention are revealed by the description of the specification and drawings.

For the hot water toilet unit 11, a commercially available hot water toilet unit having a toilet seat 14, a toilet seat lid 15 and an inside hot water nozzle is used. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4E, odor-absorbing holes 99 having a long narrow shape are formed on left and right sides of the toilet bowl end 13 of the toilet bowl 12, suction boxes 119 are attached so as to be exposed to the odor-absorbing holes 99, and the suction boxes 119 are connected to a deodorization filter 21 by a suction hose 120 via a deodorization fan 60.

The toilet body 10 has a whole size of, for example, approximately 750 mm in length, 550 mm in width and 800 mm in height. The shape of the toilet body 10 is designed not to cause incompatibility even if the toilet body is placed in a room.

In FIG. 2, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the urine sensor 56 and the feces sensor 57 are provided inside the toilet bowl 12. For the urine sensor 56, a sensor of measuring an amount of the urine by detecting a quantity of infrared rays generated from the urine can be used, for example. For the feces sensor 57, a pressure sensor can be used, for example, for measuring an amount of the feces as a pressure change when the excrement is sucked from a discharge trap 16 shown in FIG. 3. In addition, the hardness of the feces can be distinguished by a motor torque of the suction motor 20 which sucks the feces into the sewage tank 19.

In FIG. 2, as main components of the excrement treatment device of the present invention, 1 is a toilet controller, 2 is a cup controller, 3 is a washing water controller, 4 is an excrement controller and 5 is an external controller.

In the washing water controller 3 shown in FIG. 2, the washing water tank 18 has a capacity of storing approximately 4 liters of washing water 25 considering the usage of approximately ten times defecation or urination per day. A sub tank 18 a having a water level sensor 24 is attached near the bottom of the washing water tank 18. The washing water of approximately 1 liter is always stored in the sub tank 18 a since the washing water naturally drops from the washing water tank 18. A water pump 27 is connected to the sub tank 18 a having the above described capacity via a filter 26. The driving time of the water pump 27 is controlled by a timer. 31 is a relief valve.

In the toilet controller 1 shown in FIG. 1, the water pump 27 is connected to a connector 30 of the hot water toilet unit 11 via a check valve 28 and a water pressure sensor 29. For supplying the stable water pressure to the hot water toilet unit 11, as shown in FIG. 3A, signals of the water pressure sensor 29 are transmitted to the later described water pump control circuit 66 of the CPU 71. A comparison circuit 68 compares the signals of the water pressure sensor 29 with a target value preliminarily set in a water pressure setting circuit 67. A pulse width control signal is outputted from a PWM control circuit 69 according to the deviation values calculated above. Since the amount of the water of the water pump 27 is controlled by the above described output signal, the water pressure can be kept stable. The relief valve 31 operates in certain abnormal conditions to prevent the pressure of the water supply passage of the hot water toilet unit 11 from becoming higher. Thus, the hot water toilet unit 11 is protected.

In addition, the water pump 27 is connected to the washing water bag 33 of the booster tank 22 via a washing water supply valve 32 b. The washing water bag 33 is made of a soft material not having elasticity. A water level sensor 34 is provided inside the washing water bag 33. The washing water bag 33 is housed in a hermetically sealed outer container 62 made of hard material. The outer container 62 is not limited to the hard material as long as the outer container 62 hardly expands when the compressed air is inserted into the outer container 62. When the washing water is filled in the washing water bag 33 and the washing water bag 33 expands, the outer container 62 does not expand and the inside air passes through a throttle valve 51 and the filter 21 and discharged to the outside air.

The number of the washing water bag 33 can be one. However, it is preferable to provide a plurality of washing water bags 33 as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3A. For example, it is more preferable to provide two water bags 33 which are independent from each other. Specifically, the washing water of approximately 300 cc is filled in a first washing water bag 33 a and the washing water of approximately 100 to 150 cc is filled in a second washing water bag 33 b. The first washing water bag 33 a is directly connected to the washing water jet port 17 a located at the center. The second washing water bag 33 b is used for supplying the washing water to the discharge trap 16 so that the discharge trap 16 stores the washing water of approximately 100 to 150 cc for the next discharge. The second washing water bag 33 b is connected to the washing water jet ports 17 b, 17 c.

In addition, the water pump 27 is connected to a jet nozzle 16 a which swingable as shown in FIG. 3B via a washing water supply valve 32 a. The washing water is jetted in a wide range by the swing motion of the jet nozzle 16 a before and after the toilet 9 is used for preventing the adhesion of feces and eliminating odor.

In the cup controller 2 shown in FIG. 2, the cup 100 is shown in FIG. 4F.

FIG. 12A

-   -   After checking that the switching valve 53 is set to A, the         suction motor 20 is driven.     -   The cup washing operation shown in FIG. 12B is started, the         washing valve 111 is opened, the water pump 27 is driven, the         washing water is transferred for two seconds to wash, and then         the water pump 27 is stopped. At that time, the temperature of         the washing water heated by the heat insulation tank 109 is         checked by the safety tank 112.     -   After two seconds passed in the timer, the setting values of the         duration time of the washing operation of the water pump 27 as 2         seconds, the number of times of washing as 3 times, and the         interval of the washing as 18 seconds are set on each register         as a parameter of the small suction mode.     -   The cup washing operation shown in FIG. 12B is started again to         clean the cup 100.     -   +1 is added in a hot water pump washing counter. If the cup         feces sensor 104 is not detected, the cup washing operation is         repeated until the washing counter reaches 3.     -   If the cup feces sensor 104 is detected, the setting values of         the duration time of the washing operation of the water pump 27         as 4 seconds, the number of times of washing as 5 times, and the         interval of the washing as 16 seconds are set on each register         as a parameter of the large suction mode. When the feces sensor         104 is detected during the washing in the small suction mode,         the mode is shifted to the large suction mode without being         shifted to the small suction mode.     -   When the washing counter reaches the set number of times of         washing, the water drain pump 111 is driven for five seconds to         discharge the rest water and air in the pipes of the toilet 9         and the cup 100 to the cup 100 after five seconds passed in the         timer to avoid the influence of the residual pressure of the         water in the pipes.     -   When five seconds has passed after the water drain operation,         the suction motor 20 is stopped and the operation is finished.

-   7. Large Suction Operation of Cup 100

FIG. 13

After checking that the switching valve 53 is set to A, the suction motor 20 is driven.

-   -   The above described cup washing operation shown in FIG. 12B is         started, the washing valve 111 is opened, the water pump 27 is         driven, the washing water is transferred for two seconds to         wash, and then the water pump 27 is stopped. At that time, the         temperature of the washing water heated by the heat insulation         tank 109 is checked by the safety tank 112.     -   After two seconds passed in the timer, the setting values of the         duration time of the washing operation of the water pump 27 as 4         seconds, the number of times of washing as 5 times, and the         interval of the washing as 16 seconds are set on each register         as a parameter of the large suction mode.     -   The cup washing operation shown in FIG. 12B is started again to         clean the cup 100.     -   +1 is added in the hot water pump washing counter. If the cup         feces sensor 104 is not detected, the cup washing operation is         repeated until the washing counter reaches 5.     -   When the washing counter reaches the set number of times of         washing, the water drain pump 111 is driven for five seconds to         discharge the rest water and air in the pipes of the toilet 9         and the cup 100 to the cup 100 after five seconds passed in the         timer to avoid the influence of the residual pressure of the         water in the pipes.     -   When five seconds has passed after the water drain operation,         the suction motor 20 is stopped and the operation is finished.

-   8. Pressure-Feed Operation     -   The pressure-feed operation of the sewage sucked from the cup         100 to the sewage tank 19 is same as the pressure-feed operation         of the sewage sucked from the toilet 9 shown in FIG. 10.         Although the sewage sucked from the toilet 9 is pressure-fed         each time when the suction is performed, the sewage sucked from         the cup 100 is pressure-fed after storing a plurality times of         suctions. However, the above described number of times is         arbitrarily determined.

In the above described embodiment, the switching valve 53 is connected to the suction motor 20 so as to be switchable in three-ways, the sewage is sucked from the chair-type toilet 9 and the insertion-type toilet 100 in A mode, the outside air is blew into the booster tank 22 and the insertion-type toilet 100 in AB mode, and the function of pressure-feeding from the sewage tank 19 to the discharge pipe 47 located outside.
